fark ppl cant be too trusting these days. wen we test drove my mates car the dude was mind bogglingly trusting. two shifty looking curry guys rocking up with hoodies up and smokes and shit and he just handed over the keys. we were gone for bout 20min (was night and we took it to a servo down the road to look it over). coulda easily not gone back. not that we'd do so of course

sorry to hear buddy.. with that many s15's out there and esp. being stock it'll be pretty hard to find. Im sure the plates wouldve defintely been taken off or swapped, but like someone else said chances are it might've been taken just for a joy ride. I saw on ACA recently with someone in the same situation as you and "just cars insurance" refused to pay him out. Hope you don't have the same problem. All the best anyhows..

i understand what your saying, and i feel sorry for that bloke if that was the case.... however what this guy did to me is straight out THEFT! and from talking to other people who have had their s15's taken recently... sounds to me like im lucky i didnt have a weapon pulled on me!

im thankful to be alright! thats my first main priority.... we'll wait and see what happens with the car, it will either turn up or it wont :thumbsup:

its just a matter of playing the waiting game!

however i have full comp insurance and theft is obviously covered! and theft is exactly what has occured! i DIDN'T say to him "sure thing mate, just take it... i dont care!"

i was still half in the car when he took off

i had one foot in and one foot out of the car.... he took off hard.. stopped to let the door slam shut then continued on his way with my car :)

Put it this way; when you get your payout you can buy a skyline!

Not good to hear Mark! Been happening a lot in Syd and more-so now Vic too :D

Insurance saves the day at least even if its a ripe pain in the ass.

I'd have a guess the car would already have a new build plate and so on from a wreck :P

if the guy is out to steal a car do you think he is going to hand you his correct licence?

of course not!!! the only thing if he was going to use his real licence, it might have been avoided as he would have gotten scared

but if he was planning to steal it, then he would have fake ID and plently of fake stuff to go

Nah see thats the thing... They test drive maybe 20 cars a day. Aim for stock ones as its easier to sort out/rebirth etc.

Sometimes they will get a winning combination... like no details, small deposit, no license taking, right chance to drive off etc etc

So relatively its a good opportunity and low risk to them for getting caught, stopped etc.

If you do take the license + deposit + keys to his car... you've instantly created a deterrent and they probably will avoid the test drive and just say nah its all good and you'll never see em again. :down:

The prints will be on his keys, car and license (when its handed too you).

Sucks to hear about your missing car :D

At least you werent injured in the incident.

Who know what weapons he may have had and how desperate he was to take it.

Like the yellow s15 owner who was tazered before his car was stolen..

I reckon even if the thief would hand over any ID or key's, he'd probably demand them back by force somehow.

If you get a drivers license, i reckon SMS the number to a friend so if they do take the license back and your phone, least your friend has the number? lol

Went off a bit, but yeah, ill keep an eye out for your car :P

leave his licence at home/with a mate. then they have to come back with you to get it

He could argue that he needs license to test drive the car but.

I guess just have 3 friends with you when selling car, that way if there is someone at the back as you step out they cant really take off with the car hehe

mate, sorry to hear your car got stolen. but it's common sense to always get a photo copy of or just hold onto the guys licence before you go anywhere. do not get out of the car at any time when the keys are in the ignition. so if you are going to let him drive, hop out taking the keys with you, then hop back in the passenger side and give him the keys. don't get out again to swap back until you have the keys again. always have another friend with you when you meet the guy. and just use some character judgement. I know you weren't expecting it but there were plenty of set-up clues. meet up where he didn't have a car, private number, bumbag and gold chain, no licence shown... this guy is screaming "i'm going to steal your car".

You forgot to mention keywords "LEH" when they're talking :)
